GOP Weighs Dropping White House Security Funding
3 days ago
Senate Republicans are expected to abandon a proposal that would provide $1 billion for security upgrades at the White House complex and President Donald Trump’s new ballroom project.
The White House had pushed to include the funding in a larger bill aimed at restoring money for ICE and the Border Patrol.
Some Republicans are questioning the cost of the proposal and are asking for more details from the White House and Secret Service about how the money would be used.
The debate highlights growing divisions within the GOP over federal spending priorities.
